This event marks the official launch of the center and serves as its inaugural international conference, to be held in Oslo on 18–19 May, 2026.
As digitalization, artificial intelligence, and the climate crisis redefine the global economy, this conference provides a dedicated space to examine how labour laws can adapt to protect worker rights. The conference panels will explore the Nordic labour law model in a new era; labour law and sustainability; new technologies and labour law (with a special focus on AI); new developments in EU labour law; and new ideas concerning labour law’s goals and means. It is an opportunity to learn about and discuss cutting-edge analyses and ideas with some of the leading labour law scholars in the world.
